Abstract
There are various house types in the kampungs (urban villages) of Indonesian towns.The size of houses varies from less than 20 square meters up to more than 200 square meters. It is a characteristic of kampung settlements that various house types exist in the same kampung. But on the other hand, we can find the same house types in many kampungs. This paper investigates kampung houses in Surabaya city and shows their typical types, and then reveals the transformation process of kampung houses through the analysis of the relationship between various house types. Based on this analysis of the transformation process, this paper aims to describe the basic principles of the formation of kampung.
